PEGGlNG-JACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,200, dated November23, 1886.

Application filed March 12, 1886. Serial No. 194,912. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL ORSON BROWN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Greenwood, in the county of Steuben and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pegging-Jacks; andIdo declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description oftheinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to jacks for pegging boots and shoes, and has forits object to combine with a standard a last having a depending tongue,which, entering the standard, will secure the last in place and permitits inclining so as to place thereon or remove therefrom a boot or shoeby simply raising or lowering the latter in a vertical direction.

It consists in providing the last with a do pending tongue formed on thearc of a circle, which is adapted to enter a corresponding mortise inthe standard, theparts being so proportioned that the last will readilyturn on its circular tongue and permit the boot or shoe to be applied orremoved by moving it in the direction of the length of the standard.

It further consists in the novel features more fully hereinafter setforth and claimed, and shown in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is aside view of a jack of my construction partly in section, showing myimprovements. Fig. 2 is a View of the upper portion of the standard,showing the last in an elevated position. Fig. 31s a plan view of thetop of the standard. Fig. 4 is a front view of the last, and Fig. 5 is arear View.

In carrying out my invention, and to show the application thereof, astandard provided with the means for clamping the boot or shoe to thelast and holding it in suchposition, patented by me September 23, 1884,No. 305,506, is illustrated in the annexed drawings, in

which the standard A, base A, lever G, )lV- oted to the standard, ringB, link D, and

strap E, comprise the essential elements.

The standard, which may be of any approved form or size, has a mortiseor recess,

a, in its upper end 'for the reception of the tonguef, depending fromthe last F. The recess and tongue are of corresponding shape, and eachis formed in the arc of a circle in such manner as to leave a solidcentral portion, a, about which the last turns in its up and downmovements when applying and removing the boot or shoe.

It will be noticed that the end of the tongue catches on the rib a,forming the center of the circle of which the tongue and recess are apart, and holds the last in an elevated position, as shown in Fig.2.

The recess in cross-section is made wedge shape, having its narrower endnearer the rib a, and the tongue is made of a corresponding shape incross-section. By this arrangement a further provision is made to holdthe last against accidental displacement when in an elevated position,and. also against sidewise play. The endf of the tongue is slightlyexpanded to cause it to catch at thenlouth of the recess, and holdit inplace therein when drawn into the narrower end when thelast is in its,

highest position.

The rib a closes one end of the mortise and is curved on itsinner side.The curved tongue f of the last,fitt1ng in the mortise,works about saidrib as the last is elevated or lowered, and causes it to move in the arcof a circle.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent,

1. In a pegging-jack, the combination, with the standard having amortise in its upper end, and a rib closing one end of the mortise, of alast, and a segmental or hooked tongue depending therefrom adapted toenter themortise and work about the rib and form a pivotal connectionbetween the last and standard, substantially as described,and for thepurpose specified.

2. The. co mbination,with the standard having a curved mortiseprojecting from its top and through to one of its sides, forming arib,

I said mortise being wedge-shaped in cross-section, of a last havingacorrespondingly-curved or segmental tongue depending therefromcoincidentally shaped in cross-section, and fitted in said mortise forpivotally connecting thelast with the standard, substantially as setforth.

3. The combination of the standard having In testimony whereof I affixmy signature in a curved recess in its upper end, wedgepresence of twoWitnesses. shaped in cross-section, and the last having a Tcorrespondingly shaped and curved tongue SAMUEL ORSOL BROVVN' 5depending from its under side, the end of said Witnesses:

tongue being slightly expanded, substantially L. H. LITOHARD, as and forthe purposes set forth. D. M. OHILsoN.
